Add Ethernet / Wi-Fi section to Protocols menu for Network Discovery

[mik-laj]

Describe the enhancement

After the recent reorganization of the Settings menu, protocol-specific dashboards like Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, and Bluetooth are now much easier to access, which is a great improvement.

However, there is still no equivalent entry for Ethernet / Wi-Fi networking. I would like to see a new Ethernet / Wi-Fi (or simply Network) item added to the same Protocols section in Settings, alongside Bluetooth and Thread.

This section should link directly to the existing network-related views, especially the Network Discovery tools (DHCP browser, SSDP browser, Zeroconf browser), which are currently hidden deep under:

Settings -> System -> Network -> Network discovery

Use cases

When troubleshooting or setting up devices on the local network, I frequently use the DHCP, SSDP, and Zeroconf browsers to discover devices available over Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

At the moment, access to these tools is inconsistent compared to other protocols:

• Zigbee, Thread, and Bluetooth have first-class visibility in the Settings menu
• Ethernet / Wi-Fi discovery tools are buried several levels deep

Adding Ethernet / Wi-Fi to the Protocols section would make network visualization and troubleshooting more discoverable and consistent across all connectivity technologies.

Visual examples

Current UI

• Settings -> System -> Network -> Network discovery
  • DHCP browser
  • SSDP browser
  • Zeroconf browser

Proposed improvement

• Settings -> Protocols -> Ethernet / Wi-Fi
  • Network discovery
    • DHCP browser
    • SSDP browser
    • Zeroconf browser

This would align the user experience of Wi-Fi and Ethernet with Bluetooth and Thread.

Anything else?

From a user perspective, Ethernet and Wi-Fi are just as important "protocols" as Thread or Bluetooth when it comes to device discovery and troubleshooting.

This change does not require new functionality, only improved navigation and grouping of existing features, while making the overall Settings structure more coherent and intuitive.
